ATI + hammer problem Created 13 years ago2010-12-03 14:17:15 UTC by Skals

Hi guys! I'm having problems with my ATI Raedon HD 2400 graphics card.

I installed the latest version of drivers for this video card, and everything worked fine, even hammer... but for some reason this new driver resulted in my pc constantly crashing! I could use the pc properly, but I would occasionally get a blue screen, which tells me there is a problem with my AtiDvag. I decided to install an older version of drivers instead, and I think this solved the problems with the crashing, but now hammer 3d view wont work!

I checked out this page on twhl: http://www.twhl.co.za/wiki.php?id=1072

I did as it said, I inserted the first file into hammer directory, hammer didn't even open my map (crash), so I tried the second file with same results. I tried the second file only and 3d view didn't work again.

I have also tried overclocking my video card with the latest driver, and have tried almost every older and newer driver for this card to see if at least one of them doesn't crash but allows 3d view at the same time, to no avail.

My pc is a windows xp -32bit. Please help!

Try putting opengl32.dll from GLDirect (gldirect5_opensource.zip/gldirect5/bin/release/opengl32.dll) in you Hammer folder. It's an OpenGL > DirectX wrapper.

I did so, now the good thing is hammer opens up my map! (where as it crashed before I added this.) But it still doesn't work properly, since I can see nothing inside my map, all the windows are blank and I cant use hammer properly.

ATi has always seemed to hate Hammer.

Did you check the official page for drivers? I think there was a fix for ATi graphics cards awhile ago...

Nevermind.
